Pupil & Sports Premium

Pupil Premium Grant

The school recieves a Pupil Premium grant from Central Government each year. Cranford Park’s allocation for the year 2018/19 was £41,397. We have used this money to provide increased staffing levels of Learning Support Assistants as well as an Inclusion Assistant to work with children across the school in order to close the gap and improve attendance and punctuality. For 2019/20 the school has recived £38,980. Further information can be found here in our report on expenditure and in our Pupil Premium Strategy. We will be reviewing this strategy in March 2020.

Sports Premium

The government is providing additional funding to improve provision of PE and sport in primary schools. This funding – provided jointly by the Departments for Education, Health and Culture, Media and Sport is ring-fenced and therefore can only be spent on provision of PE and sport in schools.

For the academic year 2018/19 Cranford Park was allocated a total of £17,770.

We have invested this money in employing a Sports Coach to work one day a week alongside all of our existing staff in a training and development role. We have also employed a swimming teacher to work alongside the class teacher to deliver expert swimming lessons to all Year 5 pupils as well as additional lessons to Year 6 pupils who have not achieved expected standards.

We have also used this money to buy extra equipment for PE lessons, employ learning support assistants to deliver sensory circuit and occupational therapy sessions to improve gross motor control and are carrying money forward in order to repair and replace the trim trail used by all pupils at break and lunch times.
